- I would recommend Thor without a second thought. It is easy to install, has
- more features than you can shake a very big stick at, and seems fairly stable.
-
- Uncrippled (apart from a not very annoying requestor) available for free...
- only about 25UKP or $35 to register...
-
- How does Grn3 compare to Thor for features - (Michael B Smith, this question
- is meant for you)

-
- I would assume from the silent response to this question over the last couple
- of months that Grn3 is indeed available only as part of a FIVE node Tcp stack
- and Utilities pack... Real sensible, NOT...
-
- What percentage of the Amiga userbase do you bloody think has five nodes ??
-
- I don't doubt you will sell a few, but WHY not release the utilities
- separately... Grn3 should be available for less than $50 (For one user), if
- not, it will be limited to about 20 users worldwide.
-
- I used and liked Grn2.1 for quite a while, but honestly though it was not well
- enough polished to register... I am now a very happy Thor user and the
- registration is going in the post within a week.
